tbtstt said:Three weeks to go. Just so everyone knows.
Yep, I'm so excited right now! 4 days of solid coursework, a week of skiing, a week of panic coursework and then Dirt time!
By the way, anyone else here planning on picking up the Xbox One version? -
I really hope the team get the BAFTA, it's well deserved from the others in the category. It will probably go to rocket league though -
It's not the stage design that's the problem, it's the aerodynamics in the game which don't simulate correctly, which leads to the cars flying a bit more than they should. -
Their suspension tech looks very good, which is one thing that dirt has always been leaps and bounds ahead of the competition -
It doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the Fiesta! Hope it's competitive, but I'm sure it will be -
I wouldn't say WRC isn't exciting. On face value seeing the same person win everything for 3 years looks boring, but elsewhere other than the top spot there has been lots of excitement and drama -

Block is going to be one to watch. If he can keep it on the track he has the potential to be a challenger for the drivers title.Fedemaisonnave said:I have hopes on Ford Performance RX Team with Bakkerud and ... Block
And if not, we get some cool looking crashes. It's a win - win -
Has Petter confirmed what he is doing yet?tbtstt said:
No need to punish yourself that harshly @KingOfCoins. ;)KingOfCoins said:I swear if this is turning into peugeot-hansen dominating the whole championship i'm switching to Global Rallycross
Incredible bit of news. The Loeb rumour has been floating round for a while, I was concerned that, if he did get a drive with Peugeot, Davy Jeanney would be left without a seat again. The plan gives, Jeanney, Loeb and two Hansen's seats!Azoresst said:Not DR gossip, but Loeb just confirmed that he is gonna race at FIA WRX with Hansen team!
Have to say I'm expecting one of the Peugeot-Hansen teams to take the title again, but the battle for the drivers title could go anywhere at the moment: and the driver annoucements haven't finished yet... -
I think this year will be incredibly exciting for rallycross, I can see it being incredibly close and competitive -

A whole DiRTy Gossipers Forum on the PS4? We should feel exploited! XDRallyDriven said:The road book is out, interesting read for console players. The game has also finally gone gold! Very excited now!
Yeah forgot to mention that, nice nod to the community from the team :)
I was planning on spending them similarly, however I feel a more accurate example would be a tree in Wales!tbtstt said:

Looks like it could just be some promotional event, but they could very easily be collecting reference data whilst they are out there. Whether that is for Dirt Rally or for a future game is another thing entirely. -
How's the PS4 search going?tbtstt said:
I have been eyeing up the Legend Edition on Amazon...RallyDriven said:
Same, plus with box art as cool as dirt's, I can't not have the box! I shall be pre ordering from somewhere else, probably gametbtstt said:
I'm all about the physical copy: a game isn't owned unless it's sitting in a box on the shelf. ;)RallyDriven said:Dirt is now available for pre-order on the xbox store, not long now!
...the game, a documentary (which I already have on DVD), some extras and, most crucially: A SHINY BOX. -

its a wonder why they don't make sporty versions out of their road going equivalents, would be cool to see a sporty polo or ds3, especially if it was something like the new focus rs -
Unfortunately with rally, that's how it goes sometimes. You don't seemingly do anything wrong, and yet you are out. Sometimes the tiniest mistake ends your rally, whereas someone else gets away with murder in comparison.
My older brother won his championship a few years ago whilst lying in bed. All the other guy had to do was finish on the last event, but he spun at low speed and beached the car on the very edge of the stage. Like literally 3/4 of the car was still on the road, but the front wheels were stuck and there were no spectators to help, so that's where they remained -
Only the yellow, blue and red one I think. Think it was in dirt 3 too, along with Liam doran's rs200dgeesi0 said:the 6r4 in that colour was in dirt 2. wasnt it ? -

And? Regardless of the reason, it's still compromising, which is what you specifically suggested they had not been doing in DR.RallyDriven said:
Yeah, but those are pretty much ALL licensing issues. Not the team's fault.BrySkye said:
Erm, let's not get carried away and start being selective with our memories.RallyDriven said:
but for dirt rally, they haven't been settling for second best at any point, so why start now?
Mini WRC and the i20 are based on concept cars, the Impreza R4 is not an R4 car at all. The MkII Escort isn't truly authentic to the category it's in.
They've done well, but they have made compromises and settled for the best they can get at times.
Whereas lots of the game is, in fact, a compromise for all kinds of reasons, such as budget.
That doesn't mean it's bad, not at all. It's just being honest about the reality of the project.
If they really haven't been settling for second best, they would have said "Well then, we can't have the actual cars we want, so we just won't have them." (which is the current scenario with Group B RX!)
The same would apply to actual RX Group B cars as well you know. A new license needs to be acquired and at this point, that's likely a bit of a money problem (because of licensing. Also finding examples of the cars).
They do, at least, have a few applicable source files from DiRT 3 (RX RS200 and Metro for example).
Letting the Group B cars into RX if they couldn't get the proper versions wouldn't be the teams fault either.
It'd be... a compromise! To have something instead of nothing. Exactly like those previous four cars I mentioned. :)
I think the truth at this point is that the team do not thing Group B RX is important enough to accept a compromise.
Whereas the other cars were, hence the little contradiction in reasoning.
They included rally, they went and got the best selection of cars available to them, and reproduced some of the best stages in the world in the best countries in the world
They included hill climb, they recreated the worlds most famous hillclimb with all 3 variations and some of the most famous cars ever to tackle it
They included rallycross, and they went and got the full World RX licence, with 3 recreated, real world tracks.
Thats what I meant by not compromising, everything they have done they've gone all out. Yes they have had the odd licence issue, such as having the wrong rear wing on a Subaru, but I don't see that as the end of the world. SLRE included rallycross, but they didn't do it any justice by not adding a single RX car, and it's just not as exciting. -

They've already said they would only do group b rx if it was done properly, such as the actual cars that competed, rather than just using the ones currently in game for rallying. I wouldn't mind if they did it either way, but for dirt rally, they haven't been settling for second best at any point, so why start now? Doing a historic rx pack would probably be a fair amount of work (sourcing cars, licenses, liveries etc.).
Personally I'd rather have another rx track or rally stage -
Didn't notice anything.gfRally said:DiRT interview up, at work, can't watch now. Any gossip?
Well I live on a farm with countless numbers of rallycars in various states of working order! -
Interesting... Maybe some more liveries? Don't see it being more new cars, but I could easily be very wrong! Sounds like we won't have too long to find out now! -
So quantum break which is also released on April 5th has just gone gold. Wonder how long before dirt does the same?
